~Chapter 18: A Puppy?!?~

Annabelle's P.O.V

I have been in my room waiting for Harry for the past two hours. Standing up I lifted my hood on my Panda onsie and walked down the stairs. Everyone looked up at me curiously from their bowls of cereal.

"Nice outfit." Louis smirked, I smiled softly at him.

"Have you seen Harry? He said he was going to be right back, but its been hours." My voice quiet as I spoke, embarrassed that all of these people had seen me crying. The smiled at me before turning their heads away from me, Alice and Liam the only one answering me.

"He and Niall went to the store for some groceries, don't worry he should be back any minute now." Smiling at them I walked into the living room, throwing myself face first onto the couch. I turned my face toward the T.V and changed the channel using the remote. After watching some episodes of Supernatural I missed, I continued channel surfing when Harry's face popped up with my picture next to it, on MTV, curiosity kicking in I turned the volume up and sat up on the couch crossing my legs.

"Harry Styles was seen with an old friend named Annabelle last week walking out of a small cafe, holding hands. Does she know about Harry's past relationships? Will he break her heart, like every other girl he dated?" I rolled my eyes at the reporter, a small pit of doubt pooling in my stomach.

"You know none of that is true, right?" A raspy voice spoke from behind me. I turned around and nodded with a small smile on my face. "Good, we brought you and Alice something by the way." He walked into the kitchen me following behind him slowly.

"No, they would think you're completely insane!" Alice laughed as Niall joked about changing his name to 'Craic Horan'. I helped Harry and Zayn put away the groceries, as everyone else laughed about Niall's new name. I shook my head walking toward the fridge to put the milk away, bumping into Luke.

"Watch where you're going banana face!" He chuckled at the term 'banana face' and stepped aside for me to pass. I put the rest of the stuff that needed refrigerating away, before sitting on the counter top. Harry stood between my open legs, putting a box that had beautiful wrapping around it and a bow onto my lap. He motioned Alice over and she rose a suspicious eyebrow. I looked at him curiously before lifting the box into my hands slowly, examining it.

"What's this for?" I asked softly, he smiled softly kissing my forehead.

"I know Christmas isn't until next week but this has to be opened before then." He answered, I looked at him cautiously not daring to shake the box as a soft bark came from inside. My eyes grew wide as Alice lifted the lid revealing a light brown puppy.

"Err oh my god its cute, with it's face so wrinkled and pudgy! Awe, oh my gosh Harold." Alice gushed over the tiny pug, picking it up into her hands.

"You still have to name him." Niall pointed out, looking at the puppy with big eyes. Alice and I looked at each other a smile on both our faces.

"PUDGY!" We both shouted, high-fiving the best we could while she held the puppy. Harry burst into laughter before clamping a hand over his mouth. I wrapped my arms around him, hugging him tightly. He held me in his arms tightly, I pressed a soft kiss onto his cheek before thanking him and Niall.

"Do you like him?" Niall asked petting him softly between his ears. Alice and I glared playfully at him.

"No! I fan-girled because I didn't like him... Of course I like him you munchkin butt!" Alice laughed, I reached out for the soft pug. Once he was in my arms he started whimpering and tried snuggling into my soft panda onsie, placing a kiss to the pups head I struggled to suppress a sneeze. Alice laughed loudly noticing I was struggling, she took the puppy seconds before I sneezed.
